"Realized that, you know, we have 22 Latin LatinX Hispanic brands at 13. At 13 loon. And we had the great pleasure of getting a map out and putting little stick pins and where all of our founders rubber. And it's all over the globe. And that just gives me such joy. I'm such a traveler. I just love it so much. So I think that opportunity to then carry those stories discover other brands from other regions will be an amazing opportunity for 13 loon as well. So what country are you thinking of first? Where do you think we'll see the first 13 loon internationally? I don't know. I don't know. Of course I want to go everywhere and everywhere I'd like to visit. But that I don't know. I mean, we're still vetting all of those opportunities both for 13 loon. And as well for relevant. And I think relevant will come first. As far as expanding globally. And what is your vision for stand-alone stores in the future? Do you see 13 loons stand-alone stores all over the country? What are you planning? Yeah, I mean, we are opening this flagship. It's sort of a test to sort of see how this model could work. And yeah, I think absolutely. I mean, the great thing is we are 613 loon storm stores at JCPenney, nationwide. But I do think that there's an amazing chance for us to tell that story of inclusion and many studies. So yeah, we're vetting all of that as well. Well, we look forward to seeing what's to come this year since this will be in 2023 when this is airing.

"Which just goes to show that the consumer, the guest was coming to our site to shop ola flags because maybe they've been shopping olaplex everywhere. But we're excited to discover an excited to make their beauty shopping more meaningful. So it really is testament to the fact that you can build a highly profitable business and do well in the world at the same time. It's interesting that you mentioned the iOS changes because I've talked to so many brands that have said that they're really pushing more aggressively into physical retail because of these changes or possibly somewhat influenced by these changes. Were you always planning on going into physical retail? Yes. I mean, from day one, even though we were locked down, no stores were open. We launched in December of 2020, but we knew with a 100% certainty that this was going to be a fully omnichannel business. And we did not expect to get a call 90 days after we launched from JCPenney, but yes, we had always known that we wanted this to be fully Omni. And also global because at the end of the day, we're really telling a global beauty story. And so that was always on our radar. We just weren't quite sure we would get there as quickly as we did, but so grateful that that's what's happening. And you started the JCPenney rollout in 2021 replacing the Sephora locations. So is that completely done now? Are they all opened or where are you at with that? Yeah, so in 2021, we opened ten pilot doors. And starting this fall, we've started the rollout. So I think we're about a third of the way there, but all 600 will be open by end of spring. What does that meant for 13 looms growth? I mean, it's been tremendous. And so many ways. Not only from a business perspective, have we been able to grow and scale the business at rapid speed, but what it's done for our founders, some of whom, you know, as I mentioned, I found on these lists or had gotten to know in the process of developing 13 loon that maybe we're doing just a few thousand in sales and had very few followers. Now these are some of the top performing brands within 13 lunette JCPenney and it's truly changing their

So I want to kind of go back to something that you shared that I really actually did love, which was start trading on brand fire nation, not discounts. Start trading on brands and not discounts. And I have a couple of examples here that I jotted down while you were chatting Paul. And number one was JCPenney. I mean, they actually randomly enough built their brands on discounts. And then what happens? You had the CEO for apple or really high ranking dude from Apple come in. Take over JCPenney. And he's like, we can't really make money. And you haven't been making money for a long time. JCPenney, you're going down the crapper right now. We're going to take away all the discounts. And guess what they did, and people stopped coming. Because people were only going to JCPenney for discounts. So JCPenney was forced after billions of dollars of losses to fire that dude and then to go back to discounts and now they're of course still struggling because their business model is just all about discounts and they can't get away from that. We're on the flip side. You think Tiffany's is discounting 50% off. They're like perfect high cut diamond rings. Of course not. People go to Tiffany's because of the brand that they've built.

Pastor Joshua Broome Describes His Humble Upbringing
"Grow up in this town, your mother obviously is extremely young, trying to raise you. So what happens? Yeah, I mean, she did a great job. She was incredible. I never went without anything, even though we grew up in right below the poverty line, but I would have never known that. In retrospect, I saw all the sacrifices that my mother made, but we grew up in my grandmother's house until I was about 8 years old, and then she got married to someone, you know, there was drugs, abuse, things like that. But that was about a four year stint. But I mean, I never really personally endured any mental and emotional trauma just not having the father there, but anyway, so I start modeling and acting when I was like 13, 14 years old, and I just progressively had new idols in my life. So how do you get into that? I mean, you're in a small town in where was this South Carolina? Yeah, and so a long time ago, where everything would happen online today, but back then, you know, 20 plus years ago, I was walking through a mall, and then there was someone there having a model search, had a conversation with someone who was recruiting models. Got plugged in with an agent, and then she started to advocating for me and essentially functioned as a manager for me. And these people were not predators. This was like legitimate. Oh, this was great. This was like JCPenney and I was going to say JCPenney. So you're obviously good-looking, so I can see this is a normal path. A lot of people take some strange thing happens. You get involved in this. But how does it turn dark? Because, you know, most parents, you know, the ultimate nightmare would be that your kid would get sucked into something like this. How did that happen in your case? Yeah, so the Molly enacting continued and then I studied theater in college for a few years, and then I thought, well, if I put myself in closer proximity to the industry, I want to be in Hollywood, then that would be, you know, that would be a natural transition to me doing this full time. So I dropped out of college, the second semester of my sophomore year moved to Hollywood. It ended up getting an agent and everything was going fine, but like most people in Los Angeles, they were pursuing their dreams. They have to get another job to kind of fill the gap financially. And I'm working at a restaurant and in that restaurant, I walk up to this table and there's four girls there and they say, hey, have you ever thought about being an actor? And I was like, yes, you know, I thought they were going to introduce me to a project or a manager or someone, but they were talking about pornography. And they asked if I wanted to meet with their agent.

Danielle Welcomes Ryan Fournier, Founder of 'Students for Trump'
"We are now going to speak to a young conservative who's very innovative and knowledgeable about the digital space. Someone on the front lines of reaching our youth, Ryan fournier. Ryan is the founder of students for Trump and describes himself as nuclear maga. I am too, Ryan. Ryan, I want to start out by asking you how you started students for Trump. You know, for me, it was kind of random. It was kind of on accident how all of this sort of became to be as what it is now. I believe I was in a JCPenney's with my mother and my grandmother. And I was watching Donald Trump sort of golden escalator announcement where he was coming out saying he's running for president in 2016. And I had a few thoughts to myself. One was, you know, this guy is both rich. You know, he's a white guy. back to both of the elections we lost to Obama and why did those guys lose? What was because they were both, of course, white. They were rich, but the one thing that they had missing was that they had no clue whatsoever how to connect with Middle America, but here you have this guy, Donald J Trump, the you're fired guy from the apprentice, you know, giving all these speeches. I think I watched this video of his announcement probably a month or two after he announced. And so by then there had already been speeches, their dirty bin, maybe a debater, so. And I was watching him and I was like, man, this guy is like the golden nugget because it's not that he's whiter that he's rich. You know, he transcends that, but he knows how to actually get down in the trenches and have a conversation with an everyday everyday Americans. And that's what sold me on this guy. If anyone among the crowd of 17 plus contenders that we had during that primary, it was going to be Donald J Trump that was going to be the coordinated queen herself, Hillary Clinton, and so we started this social media accounts. That turned into a volunteer grassroots movement. And then in 2019, a partnership with turning point action in Charlie Kirk, so I think we did all the right things. It wasn't easy, but at the end of the day, we've made some tremendous strides and we're going to keep doing that going here into 2022 and 24.
Dose of Leadership
"jcpenney" Discussed on Dose of Leadership
"Can be a good salesperson for the first couple of years, so huge. Absolutely huge. And then the nexus leadership. Can they develop, they're going to be over top of people. If not, you're going to have to do it. So yeah, you got to look for, again, that's a pretty sharp person. That's the difference between a partner and you're doing a 50% equity and employee in other words, I'll hire an employee for something less than that. But to have that forehead at monster, you better give, you know, it's going to require some equity and so that's kind of what I look for and I do partner in all my businesses. Right. As do I in almost all of mine? Because it seems to be it's easier to carry a load if there's more people to carry it, right? I can carry this by myself or three or four people can carry them. Get momentum. One person can never create momentum. And that's interesting. Yeah, if you think about it, one person could never create momentum. One person can't be a force multiplier. Two people takes two to create three. So one person can never be a one person can only do a one person. Two people can do the work of three once they get synergistic and all that two people can create momentum. That's called teens. Right. Yeah. You're right, right. And I'm just, as you're saying that, I'm looking back at the things that were highly successful in my life and things that weren't as highly successful. And you're right. Typically if it was me by myself starting something, it could have success, but a lot harder and a lot longer time to get to that success, where you're trapped to it, trapped to it. You're strapped to it. So that's the only adventure you have and you hold on to it for dear life. And then partners typically, yes, that's a different I've had some and I don't think I've had too many that have gone here or there. I've had some that went south, but that was the market literally market change or something, right? It is. 2008, I lost my number one business partner, but the entire housing market and everything flipped. And so there wasn't as much money to share. And so that did it. But I've had just great partners using the formula that I use. Right. Well, I like that. I like the formula like the simplicity of it. Any last thoughts for people that are tuning in, either thinking about starting a business or maybe I've already started a business and kind of in the early stages, just kind of some sage wisdom or sage advice from somebody who's been in so many and done this for such a long time and started so many, right? So you can see it's different if you start one versus you've started many. Now you're going to start seeing patterns. I think if you're getting ready to start a business, okay? I'm just going to make it really, really simple for you. I'm going to give you a master's degree in business in under a minute. There's only three things you have to do in business to be successful. But you have to be good at all three. You can't skip any of them. First thing is you've got to figure out how you're going to attract customers. You just do. Sounds simple, but you do. And if you can't, you'll be out of business. JCPenney and JCPenney Sears and all that. Once you can't attract people, you're done. Number two, you got to build a self people. You have to build a convert. So you got to have a sales a really good salesperson, somewhere on the team. And number three is you got to fulfill. You got to build a fulfill what it is you sold. The customer service end of it. They all typically require a little bit of a different person. You know, to do this. So you got to be able to have that those three covered in your startup. However you're going to do that, if you're able to do them all yourself, you're extraordinary, great for you. But you got to be able to do those three. For the people that are already have a business, generally what's keeping you from scaling is your team's not good enough. You're one higher away from something big. You're one higher way. You're not willing to pay it. You're not willing to try to find that person. Whether you bring them on as a partner, an employee I don't care how you do it, but you're typically sub 5 years in business, typically it's the one big hire that you haven't made yet. You don't have that extraordinary person on staff. Interesting. That one that you're like, when you come to the office every day, you're like, you look in the park, I'll have to make sure their car is there. Really, that good. Right, right. No, I like that. And I'm assuming it's a usually in one of those three categories you just mentioned, right? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. You got to have somebody who's sales, you got to have somebody who can handle the fulfillment end of it during operations person or you got to have an extraordinary marketing person. I'm always the marketing person. Typically in mind. So that's my superpower and what I bring to the equation is that. But yeah, you got to be able to sell. You got to build a fulfill. If you can't do those three things, you'll be out of business. Love it. Love it, love it, love it.

"And would be very difficult for the Avon representative. So what we were trying to do was to create a new brand, different products, different price points that wouldn't cannibalize, and that would be synergistic, but allow some of our customers to trade up into another brand. And this is a more able to reach it. It was more expensive brand. But it's not easy to be Toyota and Lexus without changing the brand name. Right. That people who are used to buying a $3 and 99 cent lipstick are going to be hard pressed to buy a $12 lipstick with that same brand name. And we did pick two retailers to sell the brand into. At the end of the day, the retailers had strategy changes. It was JCPenney and Sears, neither of whom are in the business anymore. But at that time, I think the lesson learned there was cut your losses quickly. Yeah. We just said, you know what? This isn't going to work and we can hemorrhage more money on this, but that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. So every leader makes a strategic decision that doesn't make sense at some point, if they're in that position long enough, I think we all do. But not making quick decisions to cut your losses to admit failure and move on is part of the problem. I remember Steve Jobs, one of the things he always said was, you know, fail forward. If you don't fail, you're not risking enough..

"And I went in with my eyes wide open, but I went in with a belief that there were a couple of things, if we could do, we could stabilize the company first and then when you stabilize the company, we could try to find ways for the company to grow. But there are three important things I learned from my experience there. And I look at my time at JCPenney as a success. And I'll define to you in a moment why I see it as a success. The three important things alone was number one, the importance of not losing your core customer. Right. One of the critical strategic mistakes made. So JCPenney decided that they needed a different customer base for them to have future growth potential and they want to walk away from the traditional kind of more mature customer and they want to be a more hip more cool retailer that millennials would be interested in buying clothes and accessories from and the way I describe it to people is the equivalent of a guy being in high school dating the same girl for three years and then as a senior prom approaches he decides to tell her that he's no longer interested and he's going to make a run for the homecoming queen in the homecoming queen tells him she's not interested so he goes to the prom by himself. The second thing I learned was you have to eliminate communication filters between the CEO and the front line, what was so interesting for me is when I arrived, I couldn't believe that most of the front line executives store managers, assistant managers all the employees had no idea the company was losing money. Because in their view, okay, we're driving 11 billion in revenue, we have a gross margin of 30%, that's easy match. So we're making money, but what they didn't realize is the company taking on so much debt. And the interest expense was crippling to the balance sheet, but no one had communicated that to them. And so I remember going around visiting stores and doing all these town halls and people are complaining because we're kind of tightening our expense management and we're kind of being more frugal and asking me, while we taking things away, I'm saying to them, unfortunately we're in real trouble here and they didn't know it. And so I remember doing a one hour broadcast where I explained the financial condition of the company and that broadcast changed the total mentality and trajectory of what people understood because we were previously we were talking about EBITDA and EPS, we're talking about net income earnings per share and no one understood what that meant. Right, right. And so I just wanted to take, I took all those financially technically financial terms that were very comfortable with and I broke them down in layman's terms for everyone to understand and that taught me a lesson that sometimes in management, we don't know who our audience is and we have to do a better job of communicating directly to the employees that are on the front lines because they matter most culture engaging. With the customers and the last thing I learned, which got to make people decisions in organizational changes quickly because the longer you wait, the more difficult it is to make those decisions that are important for the business. And so those are three of many things that I learned, but when I look at my time there, we grew sales by 9%. We improved free cash flow of almost $3 billion. We paid down 1.6 billion in debt so we stabilized the company. We restructured the debt so that there is no pending debt payments that puts the company at risk, my job was far from done, but I feel great about the work done and I feel great about some of the very hardworking committed talented people that I met while I was there. I'm just curious about strategy, right? Because they were very specific things that you did at JCPenney. Like, for example, I was reading that you were focused on revenue per customer, right? Like instead of increasing sales and trying to acquire more and more customers, you had your team's focus on getting existing customers to spend more. And I read that you were really focused on data driven decision making that you would look at data and try to figure out how data could shape decisions like I read that at JCPenney men's shoes and women's shoes were just sort of thrown together in the same section and you kind of looked at this and said, hey, you know, we should actually put men's shoes by the suits and then that actually increased the sale of shoes. That's exactly right. We were trying to leverage space and we did not understand how customers shop. And so when we started to do just some real basic research around what we call adjacencies, meaning what product categories do you put adjacent to each other, we came to the clear conclusion that men hated to shop in the women's area and women did not like the shop where men's shoes were. So we basically took the space where we were giving to Manchus, we gave all that space to women's shoes, we can expand the women's shoe assortment and we reposition men's shoes and the men's area about eliminating some non productive categories and we saw sales increases and shoes in both areas because the shopping experience just made more sense. Did the other things that we did when you think about revenue per customer, while we forcing a JCPenney customer has a JCPenney credit card proprietary credit card to have to go to the other side of the mall to buy appliances. And so as we think about revenue per customer, it was simply asking the question of the customer, what are you buy somewhere else that you wish you could buy here? Because JCPenney stopped selling appliances, I guess, in like 1983. That's right. That's right. So you basically said, let's make more of these things available to our customers here in the store. And then they won't go to wherever else. That's exactly right. So rather than spending the marketing dollars to acquire new customers, we did that because new customers are vitally important, we put the same emphasis on serving the customers deadhead lawly stayed with the company by simply asking the question, what are you wish you could buy more of, the relationship with Sephora cosmetics was another example because of your female customer and you buy cosmetics, then we want to find out why how can we convince you to buy more from us. So all of those initiatives were designed around increasing the revenue per loyal customer while in parallel looking to see if you could also expand your customer base. So all the things that you implemented at JCPenney, I mean, those things really did work. I think I read that in 2015 during the holidays, JCPenney had a reported 4% increase in comparable sales over the previous season, and yet Marvin, what's confounding to me is that JCPenney's stock price was getting hard, right?

"Were you consistent were you designing as well as pulling from the archives? I wasn't pulling from the archives at all. At all. Never did. Because what I had to design was JCPenney. JCPenney was in a horrible mess. What I got there. And that was something that the management from espar was hoping that I would somehow magically solve. In order to sell with the prices that pennies does or any of those stores do, you have to work way ahead of time. And I had never worked at that end of the industry. I mean, I've always done costumes or the most expensive clothes. And a $20 blouse or $30 blouse was totally outside of my but I got on a plane and I went to Asia and I learned how to do that. In about three weeks. You just go and you learn. That was the job. So the archives didn't help us a lot. What were the big problem was that when I started, they were working about three months out. So all the fabric orders were rushes, the shipping was all by air from China and Hong Kong and Korea. It was the most expensive way you could possibly make clothes. And where the average blouse in pennies was between 25 and $39 in those days. Halston's blouses cost 75. So they may be worth that and they were lovely, but that customer was not in JCPenney. And as soon as things got marked down to $35, they sold. And my first orders from them was to get the schedule up so that we were working a year ahead of time. Huge shift. Huge shift and I did that with a huge shift for all your people. Yeah, well, within 6 months we were a year out. It took me 6 months to get there. But we were doing it. I mean, I was in Asia four times a year for a month each, each trip. In one factory after another. And they would make a sample. They'd call it the penny people would cost it out. We needed to take $2 off of it..

And then we could do, but on the other hand, my mom, my mom was a very fun mom, my mom, both my parents were very encouraging in high achievement. And such I feel like I was very blessed to be raised in a family where they did a great job of instilling self esteem. And I think back and I think I don't know how they did that. But we just kind of felt like we could do anything or, you know, I just didn't have a lot of concerns about what's the word I'm looking for insecurity. And I do think that came from my parents. They were just very, very encouraging. That's awesome. I can see where your organization came from. Obviously. I wasn't raised by a man in the military. It's not my fault. You know, I was raised so there's 6 of us and we were all born within like 9 and a half years. We're really close. So my mom had this herd of small children. We were a little bit lower income. It was just a lot of chaos. And craziness. And my parents just raised us to like, don't be dramatic. There's a lot going on here.

So sometimes people get nervous because with these programs you have to give them the credentials to your accounts to log in, but you should be reassured that they always use the same back ends that banks use. They're very secure. You're not really giving the company that information. They're using a back end server that is a third party server that's often used by a big banks. They already had in other words, they already know all that stuff. I'm really like mint. I would take a look at mint dot com. But if you want to do it by hand in the old school way quicken, quicken dot com is easily the best known, there have been another number of other Mac apps. I think there was one called caching. Which I like. I like the name. But they're all from individual app developers and who knows how long they'll stick around and that kind of thing. And quicken, I was confused the two, because quick and used to be from into it. Quicken is probably the best known. Leo one last question. Yes, by the way, congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. It's wonderful. Do personal capital and mint work both on the Mac and my HP laptop? Yes, because they have a web. They have a web interface. So there's apps on iOS and Android, and then there's a website you can go to. I would look at mint dot com and just to see the nice thing about it is you don't have to do anything. Once you set up all the accounts, it just kind of does it. It'll show you graphs. It actually does budgeting automatically because they know most, you know, when you buy something at JCPenney's allocated towards clothing, I don't think you can buy anything in JCPenney's anymore. But if you did, they would allocate it to a clothing. They do a pretty good job of budgeting. You can refine it obviously, do a better job. I think that these things because they're so automatic. Really save you a lot of time. They're really more about it, I guess it depends on why you want to do this. In the early days, everybody would say, well, I want to balance my checkbook, make sure the bank's not making any mistakes. Never did find any mistakes on the part of the bank, and if they made mistakes, they fix them because they get audited themselves. So JCPenney's is still in business. I'm sorry. They just closed here. That's all. In some places. Saint Joe? Do they have a JC? Okay. Businesses we use as a business we use Intuit has quick books. And we use that as a business, but I think that's overkill for a family, quicken is pretty easy to use, but it's not free and you will, as I said, have to update it regularly. See if you see if you like it. I think it'll give you a good idea of where you stand. I use personal capitally or sponsor for quite a while and I still use them. And I like it because it tells me where my retirement is and things like that..

Breakups can be ugly. And when they're between two major retailers they are usually public, too. That was the case last year when department store JCPenney and its store within a store beauty products partner Sephora parted ways. The messy divorce included accusations lawsuits and ultimately an announcement that they agreed to add flexibility in the relationship. It's a tale as old as time, Sephora had a new suitor and it wasn't long before they made it official. The beauty brand was moving in with coals, agreeing to open more than 800 permanent Sephora shops inside cold stores within three years. Sephora and J.C. Penney would wind down their partnership through next year. The separation was a big blow to pennies, which had filed for bankruptcy protection earlier in the year and closed more than 100 stores. But everyone loves a comeback story, and the century old apartment store is currently making a run at one earlier this month, pennies announced the launch of JC penny beauty, a new in store and online beauty shopping section that will include more than 150 brands. The department store worked with beauty products marketplace landing international and inclusive beauty E tailor 13 loon to curate the collection of products. The new beauty section is first opening in select stores and online. It's expected to be rolled out to all 600 stores shortly after the Sephora partnership officially ends next year fortune reports. The new partnership will pit pennies against the Sephora colds pairing, and they'll also be facing off against another formidable coupling, target and Ulta Beauty, which forged their own store in store relationship last year. In August, Ulta began opening the first of its brightly colored mini stores in target locations. These small versions of the beauty retailers typical stores carry roughly 50 prestige brands in a space that is roughly one tenth of a typical Ulta Beauty store. The plan is to open 800 such shops over the next few years. As to the question of how JC penny beauty plans to differentiate itself in an increasingly competitive field, one spokesperson told beauty website glossy that pennies knew beauty section will be, quote, hyper inclusive. The collection will include 17 brands that are owned by people of color. Now these partnerships are facing off to capture their share of the beauty products market. Success will depend on a number of factors including who offers the best customer experience, and which alliance is strongest, we just have to wait and see who emerges with The Crown in this very high stakes beauty contest.

AJ Benza: Fame is a Bitch
AJ's Thoughts on Elliot Page
"Did you see Elliot Page? Whenever I hear Elliot Page, I always think it's not the former Ellen Page. To me, Elliot Page is the kid from ET who grew up. Because Alan page is starting to look like him when he was younger. It's very strange this trio of people. But Elliot Page went to the Met Gala and wore a black Christ. I can't, you know, can we, can we just be honest for a second here? Can everybody be honest? You know, she looked like she looked like a little boy in his first big boy suit. You know, she looked like she was stepping out of the bedroom after mommy dressed him or he and gonna get ready to go to Sears or JCPenney for the family photo. That's what she looked like. I can't say he. I just can't say it's a shake. It's fucking Ellen Page. Just 'cause she went to the doctor and you pointed out what kind of cabs you like and what kind of pets you want. Don't make your boy. I'm sick of this. I know she felt like a boy and she hated looking at female t-shirts on movie sets. She didn't want to get her body into a female T-shirt. He used to make a physically ill, listen, I don't know what to tell you. I just, I can't, I think a lot of this is a mental defect. I just do. I do. When you see Caitlyn Jenna, do you think that's a very well grounded person? I certainly don't. I think a lot of people are with me. I mean, is that what Ellen Page is transition? Is this what she was looking to do? Did she want to look like Elliot? Is this the guy she wanted to be? Did she want to become a 7th grade boy? Because that's what she looked like. If she did, then that surgeon needs some great PR because he's wonderful.

I have a pension and can take it as monthly income or a lump sum, which do you think is better? While the monthly check is only as safe as your employer's ability to pay it, and the amount will never rise, so inflation will erode its value. You have no access to the principal. And when you die, the money stops even if you die tomorrow. So we usually recommend the lump sum you get to invest the money, however you want and generate your own income. You have full access anytime, and whatever is left over goes to your spouse or kids..

Forever 21 closing stores in bankruptcy filing shows limits to fast fashion
"This was announced over the weekend how many stories is for twenty one closing and what are they saying is the reason. they're closing up to three hundred fifty worldwide in up to a hundred seventy eight stores in the United States and they're saying that they essentially expanded to aggressively internationally and are suffering from declining mall traffic in the US. declining mall traffic and yet they're the ones who took advantage of the declining mall traffic in the first place right didn't they occupy other department stores at that went out of business. for which we wanted an interesting example of a retailer that really double down on physical space and many years right after the recession really and the not only open a ton of stores at home and overseas but they moved into a bankrupt department store space and try to envision themselves as the fashion department store of the future. so what does this mean for malls because in some of these models for over twenty one as the anchor tenant. well I can't stand this is an example of how malls are continuing to sort of going to one of two directions so we can all probably think of the really nice malls with the apple stories with the Nordstrom that have plenty visitors on the weekends we're seeing other malls that have lost years JCPenney that are struggling to self they continue to lose ten and and it's a bit of a cycle certainly for over twenty one really relied on people visiting frequently as they started losing visitors they started to suffer and once they leave the it may lead to even fewer visitors to. Christina over to you to talk about the fashion part of this they were considered not so long ago a huge threat to existing fashion retailers and even designer is because there they were able to turn around designers stuffs designer stuff so quickly and sought for so cheaply what happened what happened to their vision. well yeah I mean they came on the scene at such an interesting time in terms of fashion fashion used to be such an exclusive you know what you saw with high end on the runway something you saw on both magazine and they really were able to take those designed quickly what many people considered a knock off our copies and put them into production and houses. amazing ability to reach out to suppliers a whole new system of factory production of specialized sewing and different kinds of fabrics and details that they could you know put a garment together so cheaply and how they're you know basically the masses were able to afford it. yeah and but but then they started expanding right in their stores they were offering clothes that weren't necessarily geared to the young crowd. well I think in the beginning of course they were capturing a market a customer of young women after all was named forever twenty one and then wanted to expand it to you you know women who are working women who were suburban mothers you know they wanted to reach out to every demographic out there they wanted to form a line for for families you know just to reach a bigger audience that option is constantly changing you have to be totally on top of that the trend and they just knew more powerful retell pot on their that really focused on their digital platforms which is the way that most people are actually buying your fast fashion these days so some some of them made a mistake by doubling down on the physical stores them they should've gone more into online. yes for twenty one and you know I like people might now has always been very private about it financials but with the bankruptcy filing they do have to disclose a lot of information and wanted to think they shared and that only sixteen percent of their sales are digital and a lot of retailers are really trying to be at least twenty or twenty five percent these days and you're seeing some of the best retailers and go even above that. who's doing it well. meanwhile had obviously gotten a lot of buzz this year especially because she crew and sending them off it's doing much better than J. crew which only made while but their company that said recently that in the first half of this year forty percent of their sales were you commerce and I think dye is an example of where retailers are trying to be in the environment of twenty nineteen. what about other fast fashion retailers like H. and M. and Zara how are they doing. we've actually seen a little bit of a softening in their sales they are as really firing on all cylinders we're also seeing a lot of success that is retailers like eight cells and fashion Nova witcher online only so it seems like people are still interested in fast fashion but the way they're buying it seems to be changing right so they want to go online Christina fashion wise what what are you seeing in those particular brands a sauce and and fashion over that you're not seeing and forever twenty one. well I think this article really hits in on the manta I mean when you bank your future I'm brick and mortar shopping malls you know having these going into space is that had been vacated by retailers that actually didn't do so well I mean that's a huge amount of capital investment put into something that's really quite dying out and I think the difference between a company like asus and fashion know about and a flash of our primary twenty one is that they're really not investing in brick and mortar stores I'm not investing in opening up physical stores at the mall or and it you know as big box retailers they really are remaining on mine and at the same time you have a lot of consumers younger consumers these days the thing just such a huge backlash again fast fashion disposable fashion there is a critical look at you know environmental impacts and labor exploitation I think younger consumers are a lot more conscious and aware and educated these days and they're also looking for clothing where they have an idea of where things are actually being made so this is also a part of the story as well I think right so they're more environmentally conscious there are they don't want to waste as much they don't want to just buy something into right away in ten minutes. yeah I mean the generational shift quite interesting when I think about millennials and Jan de um and these are really you know I read somewhere that this is a generation that value experience over thing they're not really a generation that so much into owning ownership the ownership of things and it's been interesting I think women younger people there are becoming more educated more aware whether fashion coming from there we're looking for something more personal they're looking for something not to hold on to more and there's a whole kind of emerging I think of new companies new fashion line and designers that are marketing and promoting you know practices of sustainability and transparency and ethical production whether or not that is true is it is a real big question up in the air but in terms of where you know where they are drawing their attention to it it's really I feel like going out
